So, I was chatting to Richard Münchhoff after his appearance as drummer at Unter der Zeder a few weeks back with Yassmo and the Soulfisticated People. He mentioned a new project - A Rock band with Richard on guitar. One of the best young jazz drummers around shredding guitar licks? I was intrigued. Saturday saw the band - Munchy Bunch…...

Here is an update showing some of the concerts coming Bonn's way in the coming months - including the first bookings for next Year's Kunstrasen Season. Marillion could be interesting. It's been 40 years since the classic 'Misplaced Childhood' album with megahit 'Kayleigh' and Fish has long since gone but surviving this long means they will be worth a listen. I also remember enjoying an Amy MacDonald at Museumsplatz in 2009 (she was last here in 2017)....

Discover Bonn's upcoming concert lineup with Marillion, Amy MacDonald, and more! Get ready for an unforgettable music experience.

For me, the first signs that Summer is drawing to an end are not the days getting shorter, nor the cooler temperatures. The real sign for all concert goers is that the open-air seasons all begin coming to an end. It's a sudden change too. The last fortnight saw the finish in 2025 of Kunst!Rasen's top-drawer season and also the finish of Unter der Zeder's 'Klein aber fein' offerings....

Jazztube is back! Friday saw the opening round of this year's competition that culminates in the top three voted bands appearing at Pantheon Bonn in October. There's a long wsay to go yet of course, but already the 'chalk & cheese' problem is happening. How can you choose between the melancholic Cuban sound of Cuarteto Pasatiempo (Hauptbahnhof), the soft atmospheric soundcarpet of…...

What can you expect? “To quote Yassmo’s website on Yassmo and the Soulfisticated People: An evening full of energy and passion! From emotional soulful ballads to exhilarating pumping Motown beats - it's all included, everything that touches the skin and gets into the legs. The band brings the music of the soul ancestors into a fresh, modern context - and Yassmo’s own compositions create a unique sound that honours tradition while simultaneously forging new paths”. ...

The local newspaper describes the Bröckemännchen Prize as an award for Hartnäckigkeit. What exactly is 'Hartnäckigkeit? It's a mixture of tenacity, stubbornness and obstinacy. I've known Ernst-Ludwig Hartz now for around 15 years, and all descriptions fit the man perfectly, and in the best possible sense. Bonn's premier concert promoter and, along with Martin Nötzel, responsible for putting Bonn on the map for major music stars at both Museumsplatz and now Kunstrasen .BAP frontman Wolfgang Niedecken was on hand to present a laudatio before the award in the Kunstrasen VIP lounge presented by Bonner Media-Club chairman Andreas Archut....

How Bonn came to be a 'Home Concert' forCologne's most celebrated rockband may always remain a mystery. As the locals from Chlodwigplatz night say - "Et es wie et es". I mean, the locals speak another language! Judging by the number of cars with K registration plates around the Kunstrasen though, BAP have brought a sizeable chunk of 'Kölle' with them this evening....

The Stadtgarten Season at Alter zoll is well underway now and, if the number of picknickers assembled on the lawn is a measure, must be in line for being the most popular Season yet. It was certainly a brainwave to move the stage parallel to the grass making an extra 'stand' at the back. The picknickers had an interesting evening too - Lemonsun, Soelna and Crimson Bloom were a disparate group of musicial styles for sure....

Saturday was Metal Night at Stadtgarten. Did the genre matter to all those people with picnic blankets and (what seems to be a new, increasing trend) folding chairs? Friday and Saturday nights are free music nights, until the end of August. What kind of music? The best kind for many - free music! Walking gradually from the grass embankment towards the stage though there was a likewise gradual shift from blankets and wine to band t-shirts and beer....
